This one-day course will aim to provide Osteopaths and other NHS

referral of patients for various investigations, including X-ray,
diagnostic ultrasound and MRI scanning.

OUTCOMES:

        You will have a better understanding of the following:

        *       Which type of radiological investigation is most useful
in investigating particular types of condition;
        *       How various radiological/scanning techniques can help to
direct and inform our management of patients;
        *       How incorrect interpretation of investigations can
result in inappropriate management of patients.

Lectures will be given by Dr Allan Irvine, Dr Otto Chan, Dr Phillip Bell
and Dr Simon Blease.  The course tutor is Dr Charlotte Cowie.
